Warner Bros. and Jam City announced their upcoming Harry Potter mobile game, titled Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Mobile Game, and it sounds pretty fantastic. It shouldn't be confused with Niantic's title, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, which has gameplay mechanics similar to that of Pokémon GO and is also developed in partnership with Warner Bros.

“Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is a role playing experience about magic, friendship, and life as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,” said Chris DeWolfe, co-founder and CEO of Jam City. “We can’t wait to give fans a first look at the game at A Celebration of Harry Potter, and this spring players will be able to explore Hogwarts fully in their journey toward becoming a witch or wizard.”

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Mobile Game will launch this Spring. Regarding the character's timeline, the mobile game is set between Potter's birth and his enrollment at
Hogwarts (when Tonks and Weasley were students).
